UW-Madison chancellor signs off on removing rock seen by some as symbol of racism | Higher education | madison.com

Chamberlin Rock is located near the two earthen statue hills on the Observatory Hill.

A 70-ton boulder seen by some students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

One step closer to the Observatory Hill.

Chamberlin Rock is named after the geologist and former university president Thomas Crowder Chamberlin. After being dug out from the mountain, Chamberlin Rock is called at least "n ***** head", which was commonly used to express large black stones in the 1920s .

The Wisconsin State Daily published the slander in the headlines of 1925. A historian at the University of Wisconsin-Madison could not determine when the term was used elsewhere, but he said that Ku Klux Klan was active in Madison at the time.

The Wisconsin Black Student Association and the Native American Student Organization Wunk Sheek have been pushing for rock removal throughout the summer, saying it reminds people of the injustices that students of color face on a predominantly white campus.

The campus planning committee of the university in November

It is recommended to move the boulder away from the university property and move it to a location on or near the National Park Service Ice Age Scenic Trail.

Rebecca Blank, president of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, accepted the committee's recommendation on Monday. She told the faculty committee that she also asked the committee to begin to commemorate Chamberlin in the form of a new plaque elsewhere on campus.

The removal of rocks has not yet been completed. Because the boulder is located on or near a Native American cemetery, the Wisconsin Historical Society needs to sign, and all Native tribes in Wisconsin need to be notified and have time to provide input.

University spokeswoman Meredith McGron said that the University of Wisconsin-Madison plans to submit this request to the Wisconsin State Historical Society on Monday. If all goes well, the rocks can be removed this summer.

Campus officials estimated in the fall,

From $30,000 to $75,000. McGron said that the University of Madison will use private or grant funds instead of taxpayer money to pay for expenses.

Lori Reesor, the deputy head of student affairs, praised the two student groups for leading the project.

She said in a statement: "Their voices and experiences sparked discussions and deep thinking, otherwise these things may not happen." "There are multiple stakeholders in the discussion, and the final result needs to be compromised. I thank (Black Student Union) and Wunk Sheek student leaders have the courage and influence to achieve this change."
